Her parents were Louis Gautherat and Celine Clemence de Pierson.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She completed her education in Lyons, France at the Academy of Languages, where she trained as a French language teacher and governess. She worked for families in Vienna, Austria and&nbsp;Roumania. Whenever possible she traveled throughout France, Germany, and the Netherlands.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In 1903, she followed her sister and brother-in-law, Clemence and Henri Gay, to New York City. She arrived on the ship <em>SS La Touraine </em>and was detained long enough to have&nbsp;one meal at Ellis Island while she waited for her&nbsp;sister to meet her. In New York she&nbsp;taught French and German&nbsp;at the Berlitz School of Languages. She also made return visits to her mother in Belfort in 1906 and 1908. </span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After five years&nbsp; in New York City, she&nbsp;moved to California and was probably the Anna Gautherat who purchased a 3-room home for $500 in Los Angeles County. In 1909, however,&nbsp;she was in Boise, Idaho long enough to be listed in the city directory, boarding with the Manvilles (one of her students in New York was a Manville).</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anna met her future husband, Leo Dietze, in 1913&nbsp;at </span><a href="http://www.laalmanac.com/sports/sp30.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">the Mount Lowe resort</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">&nbsp;where both were employed. They were married in Orange County at the courthouse and their son, Henry Leo Dietze, was born in Los Angeles in 1915.&nbsp;Whether he was motivated by parenthood or the&nbsp;United States entry into the Great War, German-born Leo&nbsp;applied to become a citizen in 1919.&nbsp; </span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">By 1926 the family&nbsp;settled in Doheny Park in southern Orange County to open a restaurant. They purchased two pieces of property which were not sold until after Anna's death.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">&nbsp;</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The entire family&nbsp;worked at the Golden Lion Cafe in Capistrano Beach&nbsp;from 1926 until it closed in 1934. Vivian Dietze,&nbsp;Anna's daughter-in-law, explained that during the Depression, Leo&nbsp;could not turn away anyone who was hungry and this was one reason the restaurant went out of business. Luckily, Leo found other work as a gardener.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Not much is known about Anna's personality and interests.&nbsp; Vivian described her as a strong, upright person. Emigrating to the United States and pursuing a career certainly reflects that character. In the home, the family spoke French and Henry didn't learn to speak English until he started school. Sometimes, in his later years,&nbsp;you could hear a hint of French in his voice after he indulged in a second martini or was tired. Anna probably enjoyed cooking and was known to serve homemade wine to guests. Vivian remembered it as&nbsp;quite potent.&nbsp;</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The photo above is the only one we have of Anna. It was taken on her son's wedding day and I think she looks very serious. Perhaps more will surface since a few boxes of unsorted slides and papers are&nbsp;waiting to be examined.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anna died at home in Doheny Park on September 2, 1941. The cause of death was rectal cancer. Her funeral was held at the Community Presbyterian Church in San Juan Capistrano. Burial followed at Fairhaven Cemetery, Santa Ana. </span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GqHZjpJJhck/UkibhtwmhRI/AAAAAAAAAp4/3RVDikHz-HU/s1600/Dietze_Anna_GraveMarker_PR.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GqHZjpJJhck/UkibhtwmhRI/AAAAAAAAAp4/3RVDikHz-HU/s320/Dietze_Anna_GraveMarker_PR.jpg" height="223" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br /><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Selected Sources</span></strong><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">California.

It's a sure way to get his attention. A few weeks ago, I put a note about his grandfather there. Surprisingly, that is the&nbsp;first time my husband remembers learning he and his grandfather share the same birthday, February 13. What else could&nbsp;we learn about him?&nbsp;Searches in online databases and our family archives provided some answers about this successful, energetic man who died so young.<br /><br />&nbsp;Edward Oscar Vollum was born Feb. 13, 1880 on the family farm&nbsp;near Albert Lea, Freeborn County, Minnesota to Norwegian immigrants, Thore and Uni (Simonson) Vollum. He was the second of eight children and the oldest son. He&nbsp;attended high school at the sectarian Luther Academy in Albert Lea, graduating&nbsp;in June 1900. He earned his undergraduate degree at Luther College in Decorah, Iowa and graduated in 1904. He immediately entered medical school&nbsp;at the University of Iowa and earned his M.D. in 1908. This was followed by a year of post-graduate study in Chicago with Dr. Joseph Bolivar DeLee, who advocated safer, cleaner obstetrical practices at his <a href="http://www.jewellgems.com/portfolio/obgyn/clihistory.htm" target="_blank">maternity clinic</a>&nbsp;in Chicago. Following this training, Edward returned to Bode, Iowa to practice general medicine.<br />﻿<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mU3_EfkaasA/UIclywBJddI/AAAAAAAAAmI/gNXLZ9wsezc/s320/PRVollum_Dyrdal_Wedding1909.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="248" /></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Edward and Ananda on their Wedding Day<br />&nbsp;</td></tr></tbody></table>Edward and Ananda (it <em>is </em>Ananda, not Amanda) Dyrdal were married on Oct. 27, 1909. Their three children were born in Bode, Iowa. By the time their youngest daughter, Vivian, was born in 1916, Edward's health was suffering. He was about 37 years old when he had a stroke&nbsp;that caused him to interrupt his medical career. After his recovery, the family moved back to Albert Lea in 1918&nbsp;where he and Dr. L. J. Kaasa, established a successful medical partnership in the Albert Lea State Bank building.<br /><br />With a busy practice and growing family, somehow Edward found time to remain active in the community. Not only was he a member of the Masonic Lodge, Lions Club, Elks, Sons of Norway, the American Medical Association, the First Lutheran Church, and other organizations, he also served Freeborn County as its public health officer. His friends, colleagues, and patients found him to be a kind, personable man who was interested in many things.<br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-o-xqzrCQWwA/UIfkBUm-lhI/AAAAAAAAAmo/n5TTfqbAHs0/s1600/PRSword3bAllison.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="113" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-o-xqzrCQWwA/UIfkBUm-lhI/AAAAAAAAAmo/n5TTfqbAHs0/s320/PRSword3bAllison.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Edward's Masonic Sword</td></tr></tbody></table>In late February 1928, he became ill with the flu and was bedridden for several days.

And of some of his Descendants<br /><br />Orig settler of Stamford 1640</strong><br /><br />[p. 1 of 7]<br /><br />Robert Jackson one of the first settlers of the Town of Hempstead, in Queens Co., L.I., was also one of the original settlers of the Town of Stamford in Connecticut in 1640 or 1641. A portion of the settlers of the latter place becoming dissatisfied sent a committee over to Long Island in 1643 who succeeded in making a purchase of the Indians and in the Spring of 1644 [64 crossed out] the company crossed the Sound, landed at the Hempstead Harbour and began the Settlement on the present site of the Village of Hempstead. Robert Jackson and his wife Agnes [“3rd wf” penciled in] were probably amongst this company. In 1647 his name appears amongst the freeholders of the Town of Hempstead. On the 28th of March 1658 (N.S.) he with others was appointed by the Town to go with Checknow [sp?], agent of the Sachem of Montake [Montauk] to meet Tackapausha, Sagamore of Marsapeaque [Massapequa], with his Indians to mark and lay out the general bounds of the Town of Hempstead.

Census data, letters, vital records, and newspaper articles I collected as an adult added details.<br />&nbsp;Granville Roy Jackson (or, G.&nbsp;R. as he was always called)&nbsp;was born&nbsp; in Calhoun County, West Virginia. My grandmother grew up in neighboring Ritchie County. Both families were farmers with deep roots&nbsp;in&nbsp;western Virginia. There were differences, however. G.R.'s father served in the 19th Virginia Cavalry during the War Between the States, while my grandmother's family&nbsp;was staunchly anti-slavery and pro-Union during the Civil War.&nbsp;&nbsp;As a boy, my dad witnessed&nbsp;more than one spirited debate about the War&nbsp;at reunions.<br /><br /><div>Whatever their differences, the families came together and celebrated the young couple's marriage on Oct. 22, 1905. G. R. and Iva lived with&nbsp;his parents in Big Springs, Calhoun County for a short time. The next year, they struck out on their own and settled in the boom town of Bigheart, Osage County, Oklahoma. They opened and ran a general store until at least 1910. A tornado in 1911 and a fire in 1913 devastated downtown Bigheart and may have forced them to close the store.&nbsp;By 1918, G. R.'s occupation was listed as tool dresser for a drilling company when he registered for the WWI draft. In the 1920s, he opened a store in Montana where the family spent a short time. By 1930, they were back in Oklahoma, and he was working as a pumper in the Garber-Covington oil field.</div><div>&nbsp;﻿﻿﻿<br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-df5O4O-okwM/UBsBTd3mr6I/AAAAAAAAAlo/i2OZZPqEAVA/s1600/JacksonGR_StorePR.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="276" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-df5O4O-okwM/UBsBTd3mr6I/AAAAAAAAAlo/i2OZZPqEAVA/s400/JacksonGR_StorePR.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Jackson Store in Bigheart, Oklahoma, 1908.

Instead, Aunt Lucy&nbsp;was a successful, independent career woman.&nbsp; She was tall, dynamic, curious, and always interested in visiting new places--often with her camera in hand. As far as I was concerned, there was no one in the world like Aunt Lucy. <br /><br />Every few years she would take the train from Chicago to Union Station in Los Angeles. My mother, brothers and sisters and I would meet her at the station in our old station wagon, then drive her to&nbsp;the Biltmore Hotel. From&nbsp;there, she would visit friends, host dinners, and explore Southern California. <br /><br />When I was&nbsp;13, she invited me--only me--along on a photography trip to the central California coast. She worked for the <em>Chicago Tribune</em>&nbsp;and arranged an extensive, private tour for us of&nbsp;Hearst Castle.&nbsp;&nbsp;It was an amazing&nbsp;trip and I enjoyed every day. Aunt Lucy was determined I learn to share her interest in photography and&nbsp;rented a 35mm camera for me to use. I did my best, but despite her patiently repeated instructions, aperture and shutter speed remained mysteries.&nbsp;I did, however, come away with a lifelong love of central California and an appreciation for what Aunt Lucy could do with a camera.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><strong>Aunt Lucy's Timeline</strong>:<br /><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-F3snWCH2zzs/UABgTgfjbFI/AAAAAAAAAlE/IY1PNrCUIp4/s1600/PRAunt_Lucy's_Medal1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-F3snWCH2zzs/UABgTgfjbFI/AAAAAAAAAlE/IY1PNrCUIp4/s200/PRAunt_Lucy's_Medal1.jpg" width="186" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Aunt Lucy's Medal, 1960</td></tr></tbody></table><ul><li>Birth, 29 October 1901 in Wenona, Marshall Co., Illinois to Joseph and Alexandria (Nowsuc) Kosinski.
